Machine Shop Needed

[Southeast Overland]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a machine shop that can plane off my intake/exhaust manifold before I reinstall? I need somewhere close to Travelers Rest or Greenville.

We use a local NAPA machine shop here in Atlanta. It may be worth a call to them to see if there is one closer to you. They charge us about $100. Make sure that the manifold is assembled and torqued down with new gaskets when you take it to get surfaced.

And yes you can remove the flapper but make sure that you still have the metal seperator gasket installed. I usualy plug the holes with a 10mm bolt and fill the dead space with high temp silicone (Ultra Copper is what I use.)

Dover Cylinder Heads

Or Napa in Mauldin would do it.

Also just got through talking with Southern Auto Classics in Mauldin. Found out they bought Millennium Performance Coatings and moved it all in their shop.

So now they do all kinds of powder coating (ceramic and low temp). Same guy who owned Millennium is working for them now. Wayne.

They also have a full machine shop. They do high end work. As well as engine and car dynos.

Phone number is 627-0601

Owner is Gary. I've met him before. They build race cars and cobras.

That might explain why I couldn't find any trace of Millenium.

I'm checking with a long time TR resident who has tons of connections in that area for a good guy, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Bob but my Cruiser budget is below zero!

"Below zero" doesn't include beer money. I'm sure, in your infinate wisdom, you bugeted that seperately.


It's the most important part!!!

This is good info indeed! I may have need of some dyno time in the near future.
